Specification of Letters Patent.

-Patented Nov. 3Q, 1915..

Application filed September 28, 1915. Serial No. 53,080.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, MICHAEL J. DnIsooLL. a citizen of the United States, at present residing at Cristobal, in the Canal Zone, have invented a new and Improved Poison- Bottle, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.

The prime object of my invention is to provide a bottle that may be utilized for containing poison and so formed as to insure that its contents will be used only with deliberation, thereby preventing the accidental taking of the poisonous contents in mistake for non-poisonous substances.

In carrying out my invention 1 so form the bottle that it can not be made to stand on end but must rest with its cylindrical body horizontal. I provide the body witli a lateral bottle neck between the ends of the bottle.

Reference is to be had to the accompany ing drawings forming a part of this specification in which similar reference charac preferably equidistant from the convexed ends 11, 1 form the bottle neck 12-, adapted to receive any approved stopper 13, or other closure.

By the described construction the converted ends 11, will prevent the bottle from being stood on either end and requ're that it be laid lengthwise. The position of the bottle neck at a side and substantially equidistant from the ends will necessarily arouse caution in a person taking up the bottle to pour its contents and the unusual positioning of the bottle that will be required to pour the contents will further serve as a reminder of the character of the bottle. Moreover, the cylindrical shape of the body will give it instability so that upon a hand contacting with the bottle, its tendencv to rock will contribute to the warning of the special character of the bottle and its contents.

laying thus described my invention, 1

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A poison bottle having a cylindrical body, closed conveXed ends, and a neck extending laterally from the cylindrical body between Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
